Bayern have liverpool to thank as kovacic flops for chelsea

A clever observation!

Yes, you're right. Bayern Munich's Champions League campaign was boosted by Liverpool's draw against Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals. This allowed Bayern to advance to the semifinals, where they ultimately lost to Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's midfielder Mateo Kovačić, who was on loan from Bayern at the time, had a disappointing performance in the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid. His lackluster display was criticized by many, and it's possible that the pressure of playing in a big game like that affected his performance.

So, in a way, you could say that Liverpool's draw against Atlético Madrid indirectly helped Bayern, and Bayern's subsequent success in the Champions League was partly due to Kovačić's underwhelming performance against Real Madrid.
